I weight 125 lbs 6ft and I tracked a 4800-5200 calorie diet for 10 weeks using my fitness pal, monitored and limited my activity to moderate weight lifting no cardio, and playing video games, yes gainer shakes were included with the meals. Have. Not. Gained. A. Pound. Fat man

Here’s a hint for guys who want to eat more calories. Drink olive oil or eat butte. Easy peasy.

Not many honest and straightforward posts out there – it really is hard to consistently eat a lot. Thanks for sharing!

In reply to Peggy Stancil. Are you on your menstrual cycle? That can affect weight gain.

In reply to Yussuf.

I wrote this a while back which has some good guidelines – http://www.fitmole.org/eating-out-guide/

But in short, it can be tough.

You will never know the exact calories, so you just need to do your best to estimate (e.g. learn what 3oz chicken or 1 cup rice looks like so you can use that as a standardized value and make estimates based off that). Other than that, when it comes to fat loss and eating out, just don’t eat until you’re stuffed and pick options that are super high in fat, and always make sure there’s some protein in the meal.

Great post, definitely needed the wake up call. Just one thing, how would you measure calories based on food that isn’t ready made. E.g. you go to a restaurant and order.. rice, curry with potato and chicken. Weird combo but yea. Since it isn’t labelled with how much calories it has, how would you ho about this process?
